After heavy rain Saturday and early Sunday morning, Mother Nature flipped the script with cold, wind, and snow. There's more where that came from.

Many areas picked up between 2 to 3 inches of snow across the Tri-State early Sunday and that has left roads in bad shape for some areas. Additionally, the winds have been brutal. Gusts of 25 to 35 mph have led to blowing and drifting snow along with frigid wind chills, and it will only get worse from there.

Snow continues to move through the Tri-State this evening. Some heavy bands in Mason county as well as Clermont, Brown, and Adams counties. This could bring a quick 1/4 to 1/2 of snow for some areas.#WCPO #CINCYWX pic.twitter.com/Fah58VGt5V

Flurries and light snow will stay with us until the early morning hours of Monday. However, additional accumulation should stay less than a quarter of an inch. Wind chills will be in the low teens and single digits overnight as winds start to subside.

Overnight we will see some of the clouds break as the snow starts to taper off. However, we will likely stay mostly cloudy with a low of 14°. Wind chills out the door on Monday morning will be around zero.

This week is going to be COLD! In fact, we are looking at high temperatures that are 20 to 25 degrees colder than average for most of the workweek. Oh... and there is another chance at accumulating snow. Full breakdown tonight at 6pm!#WCPO #CINCYWX pic.twitter.com/OoHYHdCqzT

This is the start of a brutally cold week ahead. The entire work week will be below average, with highs staying into the low to mid-20s, which is 15 to 25 degrees colder than normal. Additionally, signs are pointing to another possible snowstorm Tuesday night into Wednesday which would bring accumulating snow in time for Wednesday's commute. Stay tuned.

OHIO RIVER UPDATE: On top of the cold and snow, the Ohio River is in Action stage and is expected to climb into Minor Flood Stage by Tuesday afternoon. Here is the latest forecast.

Waters on Ohio River will continue to climb through the next 3 days as it reaches a crest of 53.4' on Wednesday. That would be minor flood stage. Water levels on the Ohio River are alread very high as you see the levels on the camera near Covington.#WCPO #CINCYWX pic.twitter.com/mcriKfIWaH
